TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit - Ceramic G-Coated Set

In this review the TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of 2003-09 Toyota 4Runner and 2007-09 FJ Cruiser who want a full replacement kit that includes everything needed for a brake service. The kit's biggest selling point is the complete, vehicle-specific package: front and rear ceramic pads with hardware, matching premium G-coated rotors and a brake chemical kit, which makes it practical for DIY mechanics and shops wanting a single purchase that closely mirrors OE fit and performance.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear ceramic brake pad sets, hardware and contact point grease so pads are ready to install without sourcing additional parts.
• G-coated rotors: Front and rear premium G-coated rotors help resist corrosion and maintain a cleaner appearance over time on vehicles that see mixed weather.
• Brake chemical kit: Comes with DOT 3 & 4 brake fluid and a non-chlorinated brake cleaner so a single box supplies the fluid and cleaning steps for a full service.
• Vehicle specific fit: Designed as a direct fit OE replacement for compatible 4Runners and FJ Cruisers, reducing fitment guesswork for those specific models.
• Ceramic friction material: Ceramic pads provide stable, OEM-like stopping power with generally lower dust compared to semi-metallic pads.

Who It's For

Owners of 2003-09 Toyota 4Runner and 2007-09 FJ Cruiser who prefer a single purchase that replaces both pads and rotors front and rear will find this kit convenient and cost effective. DIY mechanics and independent shops will appreciate the included hardware, contact point grease and brake chemicals that simplify a routine brake job.

Drivers seeking an exact OEM match for an uncommon rotor size or those who demand factory-brand warranty coverage should verify fitment against OE reference numbers; buyers who require noise-free operation in all conditions should be aware that ceramic pads can sometimes produce squeal and may need shims or additional damping.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Quality ceramic pads and premium G-coated rotors deliver OEM-like braking performance and reduced rotor corrosion.
• All-in-one kit with hardware and chemicals saves time sourcing parts and is convenient for complete replacement jobs.

Cons

• Some users report occasional squeaking from ceramic pads, so additional anti-squeal measures may be required.
• A few buyers noted inconsistent parts packing, so inspect the box for all hardware before starting the job.
